Easier said than done, innit? I'm privileged enough to have a relatively highly trafficked blog, as well as some social media following, so this could possibly for me, but plenty of candidates who are arguably more qualified than me don't have either.

Funny, how all the lectures about the "rules based order" and the "rule of law" from Western necons are shown to be total lies by their own words.
This should be a copypasta.

That’s 666 days.

So you are off by over “one order of magnitude”
Did you get (or asked for) feedback from the interviews you failed? Hiring managers / recruiters are sometimes quite transparent on this front.

Ask them if it is possible to re-apply in a few months.

Show your resume to friends and colleagues you trust and ask for honest feedback.
Yes, you can. Not sure how that's relevant to the discussion though.
I dunno about that, my Model M from 1989 is still going strong. I've been waiting for it to fail for a decade at this point so I can upgrade to something more modern, but I find I'm not interested in giving it up prematurely.
My issue with the 99 year lease, is it’s harder to pass down wealth to your kids, as there would be no home to give..

Maybe as a society, less generational wealth is a good thing.

Thanks for this. You and speerer have given me the idea to get clear plastic near-hemispheres to glue onto my keycaps. KB illumination will still show, and the key target area will be less than half its current value. Much obliged!
What's "silly" is that such a dress code exists at all in 2024. What a bunch of uptight dorkwads.
Terrible app, variable quality since they clearly re-use music uploaded originally as video with a static background. Apple Music is king of streaming quality, however neither Apple Music nor YTM can beat Spotify's algorithm as far as the kind of music I listen to is concerned.
it is not some people claim though, viewership is down and getting worse so much so that NBA is doing crazy shit like in-season tournaments and silly pick up games shit for All Star ( https://www.nba.com/news/2025-nba-all-star-game-new-format )… the league and game itself are a shadow of their former self and main culprit lies in the fact that today’s game is just chuckers chucking 3’s
Ah, Keychron.

I looked at getting one of theirs.

The web-site is insanely confusing and completely fails to explain the differences between keyboards. It took two days of work to figure out what was going on and how keyboards varies and so which model I actually wanted.

I also found their site condescending and annoying - stupid banners which were permanently present on product pages on every little keyboard image saying I can't remember what now - something like "selling quickly so buy now". They're not there any more, far as I can see, so I can't check. Maybe someone else remembers them?
Hm, m$ also runs a few giant adtech platforms, maybe they can just inject tracking code at the source.
Creating linked list is very simple in Java. It is just a simple class with next method.

I am sure 12+ years of experience should be able to do it easily.
It's an article written by a mainstream site so I wasn't really expecting them to talk about split keyboards at all but I agree wholeheartedly.

I went from a full size to a 40% keyboard to an ortholinear and now use a low-profile split keyboard as a daily driver.

IME it's so much better for ergonomics with a proper desk setup and seating/posture with the split halves shoulder width apart. Wireless is a great benefit as well if you swap between desktops and laptops.

Open source firmware like ZMK and QMK make it trivial to use splits with Linux, mac OS and Windows and for any environments where the OS is locked down and software installation is required.
I’m approaching a year of unemployment, although I took a deliberate four month break. Don’t have a CS degree but am a CPA. Have been primarily targeting accounting and fintech companies, but I’m getting passed up for software engineers with zero accounting knowledge but much more dev experience. It’s been tough, but I’m hoping it will get better in January. I have to at least hope because I really need to get a job ASAP.
So instead of picking tooling that works with the dev tooling your developers like, you pick tooling that's dime a dozen (js formatter) that doesn't work with the best tools your devs like? Got it. How are you still a manager?
Lol, literally a few weeks ago we had NATO leaders talking about how "we need to find a way to shut down the passage of Russian oil" and now how convenient, we suddenly see that Russian taners are apparently doing things which conveniently give NATO a way to shut down the passage of Russian oil.
Definitely not luck. Bill runs with the same crowd that wrote the bible on advantage play (James Grosjean, etc). They are exceptionally talented.
I feel like Forth will always have a place in embedded contexts. And it's a good language to start with when learning how to write interpreters/compilers.

The second you start building higher level apps in Forth, you lose most of its advantages from my experience.

While usable as an in-app scripting language, I would pick Lisp any day.
Brain cycles are still being used even if you're not conscious of them. So yes, some part of your has to spend cycles to remember to type that semicolon, and to even remember where the semicolon is on the keyboard, and in fact to remember how strong a signal has to be sent to the finger muscles to move the pinky to the right location and press the key.

In principle, this effort should even be measurable in calories (though it may be hard to distinguish from the noise of everything else you're thinking).
The legislation covers radio equipment up to 100W, also power delivery is directly mentioned.

For ‘fast’ charging, the radio equipment listed in Part I of Annex Ia, if it can be recharged by means of wired charging at voltages higher than 5 volts, currents higher than 3 amperes or powers higher than 15 watts, must: (a) incorporate the USB Power Delivery (USB PD), as described in the standard EN IEC 62680-1-2 (as referenced in Annex Ia); and (b) allow for the full functionality of the said USB PD if it incorporates any additional charging protocol.

26. Is a radio equipment allowed to support a higher charging power (e.g. 40 W) when using a proprietary charging protocol than when using USB PD (e.g. 30 W)?

The RED (in its Annex Ia, Part I, point 3.2), ensures interoperability with different charging protocols. For that purpose, radio equipment which is subject to the ‘common charger’ rules must ‘ensure that any additional charging protocol allows for the full functionality of the USB Power Delivery referred to in point 3.1, irrespective of the charging device used.’*

Ah man, I'm gutted I didn't "attend" this. Been an Emacs user more than 15 years and people like Sacha were there at the beginning for me and a huge reason why I got into Emacs back then. I feel so lucky to have got into it back then. I see colleagues struggling with their tools which they can't fix or even tweak, but I can't imagine any of them putting in the time now to learn Emacs. It's truly the editor of a lifetime.
Finding and exploiting hidden features of Animal Crossing's NES emulator (2018)
I had a job in 1982 or so that involved programming in Forth. It kinda made sense at the time to my young impressionable self, and one of the old timers thought it was ideal for what we were working on at the time. It all ran on a single thread; I don't even recall it having interrupts. I can't imagine using it for anything practical today.
Or no planning at all, as I did 26 years ago. Meet some people in a cafe in Paris, agree to all go to Amsterdam for 2 days, grab your bag and then find a hostel when you arrive. I spent 2 months without knowing where I was going to wake up the following day.

No mobiles, only lifeline home being a pay phone call every week.

Not the same stores in every city as it is today.

Life was beautiful back then and we did not know it.

I mean, the recent innovation in US air travel is that the TSA no longer adds hours to every flight. Like, is it maddening that we're curing a self-inflicted problem? Sure, of course it is. But the railfan community is also stuck in 2010. Every flight I've been on in the last 10 years I've walked through a metal detector, not a scanner, I've kept my shoes and belt on, my laptop in my bag. It's like 2000 all over again, except that now we have to pay a nominal fee every 5 years or whatever it is to use PreCheck.

Everyone should be mad that we dug this hole and then climbed out of it, but people shouldn't pretend that we're still in the hole.

Dependencies. Hard topic. The question is less about the numbers, but rather in the amount of code you pull in. In the end, every line needs to be certified. The team that wrote sudo-rs blogged about their approach here https://www.memorysafety.org/blog/reducing-dependencies-in-s...

Essentially, expand your use for initial development and whittle down later as much as possible.

That said, Tokio is not going to be a good certification candidate - but that’s a topic for a longer conversation. (TL;DR: The Tokio project has aims and goals that are good for their use, but problematic when it comes to writing safety certified software)
There's a whole world of custom split keyboard options out there that use switches where it's super easy to buy replacement keycaps. You can get keycaps made of PBT which are long-lasting and have a very high "rub" factor so you shouldn't have to worry about rubbing them raw for a very long time.
In my two decades of experience, I've never seen another software engineer implement a linked list or even use a linked list. There are better, and more interesting, questions to be asking.
Nah, there’s definitely racism from asian hiring managers.

It’s not totally unexpected, though. Unlike us white males, most of them haven’t been trained from birth to not prefer candidates that look like them.

If you disagree though, I challenge you to go on linkedin and randomly choose 10 asian hiring managers from tech companies and then the demographics of the people who work for them.
It's closer to a hedge fund finding asymmetries (e.g., under/over valued odds by bookmakers, bulk buying strategies when phone buying is turned off, etc.) plus some structural benefits (e.g., HK was a gambler's dream. Winnings were exempt from taxation! And the "pit boss" for the horse-racing scene wasn't kicking them out.)

These don't apply to all horse-racing scenes.

These advantages emerge, but get competed away.

Look at how the protagonists here were in black jack card counting teams. They do make money until they get blacklisted.
He also wasn't exactly disparaging it. He said we need it, but we must not let it become too powerful or influential. The truth of that hasn't really changed.

What we do is making new friends wherever we move. Most of the time keeping the best ones (not all equal, not all relatives are equal either), keeping touch, visiting each other, making things to do together. Because it is good for us, does not feel an effort at all.

Now we have friends from foreign places that are not so foreign anymore! Friends from all around the world. : )

I consider ourselves lucky.

A decent high-speed rail system would be cool!

But a decadent high speed rail system would be awesome!
The requirement also feigns innocence.

As far as I can tell there is no actual requirement to block third party firmware, merely a vague rule that says they have to do something. But designing hardware specifically to enforce the regulatory limits even if the firmware requests otherwise would cost money whereas blocking third party firmware just screws over the public, so in practice that's what they pick when you force them to check the box.

On top of that, using that method is also the least effective because then any firmware vulnerability still allows regulatory limits to be exceeded. And if you're okay with that then there are plenty of alternative measures that could be used to check the box at low cost as long as you don't care that they're not very effective. But somehow that's a failing for the alternatives whereas with software it's just expected to be rubbish.
Candidates aren’t going to apply until you can actually guarantee that their application will be reviewed and given due consideration. And that will never happen because the fakers will invest an unlimited amount of time, so your review process will fall over.
Fixed voltage PD-to-barrel cables help fill the gap.
Are there split keyboards that preserve the standard layout of the home/end/pgup/pgdown cluster? Due to my usage patterns, not having that is a deal breaker for me. As an example, with rectangular keyboards my only choices are tenkeyless or full size, because they preserve the home cluster. Are there equivalents in the split keyboard world? All I'm seeing in that subreddit are smaller keyboards that lack the home cluster, that's why I ask.
Dress-codes can be about more than morality. In a game of intense concentration having distracting clothing could be a distraction. It’s not like every professional sport doesn’t have a dress code.

Really? Mine is that companies value experience less.
what do you think would be logistics of changing every arena to accomodate larger court - not just in the US but internationally? changing court size is out of the question for sure.

to me the main problem is that 3-pt used to be reserved for only a couple of players on each team that could make them with high enough percentage that coaches would allow them (imagine bill laimbeir shooting 3’s on MJ’s Bulls…). Steph changed that - he made shooting cool and new generation of ballers grew up shooting (including 7-footers). NBA needs to make a change such that only handful of players on each team can make 3’s again (like before) and for that moving the 3-pt to 27+ feet and eliminating corner 3’s is the only sane-ish way forward

Same thing works in Philadelphia.
If it’s any consolation, I haven’t gotten any favors as a trans woman, even with “passing privilege.” Both myself and the cis women in tech I know all hear the same thing: companies are tipping the scales to favor diversity hires. But in truth it seems to be a marketing tactic rather than a hiring strategy.

It’s quite bizarre at all levels — I often receive invitations from recruiters to apply to “women led startups”, but when I ask why I’m qualified there’s no real explanation other than I’m a woman who owns a computer. The same seems to be true of female founded startups. Doesn’t matter what the role is or what’s being built — Does she use a computer while in an office building? That’s women in tech! The purpose of most of these interviews is really about manufacturing consent: “It’s just too hard to hire women! Just look how hard we’ve tried!” I’m all for incentivizing under represented groups, but it wouldn’t be so bad if the phrase “women in tech” was short hand for “women who have written a lot code” and less about “brave women who uses their yonic powers to guide the brutish male code monkeys.” Attend a FAANG sponsored women centric event and you’ll see that I’m only exaggerating a little bit.

Ironically, my transition has been something like a rendition of Gift of the Magi: The more passable I became, the less experienced I was perceived by my peers. And worse, what was once thought of as confident display of technical ability is now seen as a lack of demure. Insecurity runs deep in this industry.

IMO the hiring problem isn’t about gender or race. It’s the fact that tech doesn’t have the luxury of an economic environment where all the money is imaginary. There’s really no era quite like the last two decades. Tech companies could burn through billions of dollars on intangible assets with no immediate need for deliverables. As the perception of innovation diminishes, companies feigned cutting edge leadership by leaning into the virtues, and as a byproduct, having the employees fight over who’s more oppressed.

I think everyone here has questioned if their skill set is actually worth their salary. “Sure, sometimes it’s a free ride, but those hard sprints are really why I’m paid six figures!” — It’s explanations like that which let software engineers hit the snooze bar on whether their employer’s solvency is transitive of their technical expertise, or rather just two decades of zero interest rate policies. It’s likely a little bit of the former and a lot more of the latter.

IMO most engineers are looking through the wrong end of the telescope, trying to find a job like the dating you do when you’re looking for a comfortable but uncommitted relationship. That time is over and our jobs are now akin to the blue collar trades who’s customers have a clear idea of what they’re paying you for, rather than a vague set of technical skills that might be worth exploring on their dime.
What's so bad about a "generic" resume? I assume this means one that just honestly describes your experience rather than tailoring it to the job applied for to make it seem you're a better fit than you really are. It's up to the person (hopefully) reading your resume to decide whether you're enough of a potential fit to take to the next step (technical screening call?).
I don't know. Sure, examples could be nice. But an article can be imperfect and still be interesting or useful. Also, it's easy to say come up with examples, but I find it hard sometimes.

In any case, I find it a nice article. Will it change how I write code? Maybe, maybe not. But it will change how I review code and talk about abstraction.
>But I also think it's pretty hard to foster an environment where people of every seniority level feel comfortable doing that.

That's because pretending to be unsinkable is much easier than working to prevent the ship from sinking. Especially when there's a perception that the problem carries very low risk. That creates situations where there's little individual benefit and a lot of reputational risk for raising the alarm.

To fix this you have to intentionally create a culture that aligns individual and organizational incentives around the behavior you want to see encouraged.
Well yeah. The point is as that there are currently two recent whistleblowers in regards to Boeing. Both of them are dead.
completely opposed to it, yes. im an ex refugee. i hate war and especially conscription. and super especially a pointless war that destroys the whole country and sets it back for generations to come.

ive also seen what western interefernce looks like when the west wants there to be a war. for example compare this to boris johnson torpedoing the peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine in 2022

On 18 March 1992, all three sides signed the agreement; Alija Izetbegović for the Bosniaks, Radovan Karadžić for the Bosnian Serbs and Mate Boban for the Bosnian Croats. The plan had assigned each of the 109 municipalities to be divided amongst the three ethnic sides. The allocation of the municipalities was mostly based off the results of the 1991 population census that was completed a year before the signing of the agreement. The agreement had stipulated that the Bosniak and Serb cantons would each have covered 44% of the country's territory, with the Croat canton covering the remaining 12%.[3]

On 28 March 1992, after a meeting with US ambassador to Yugoslavia Warren Zimmermann in Sarajevo, Izetbegović withdrew his signature and declared his opposition to any division of Bosnia. What was said and by whom remains unclear. Zimmermann denied that he told Izetbegović that if he withdrew his signature, the United States would grant recognition to Bosnia as an independent state. What is indisputable is that on the same day, Izetbegović withdrew his signature and renounced the agreement.[4][5]

Ukranians should take note that the Bosniak side came out even worse after that war, while the Serbian side today controls half of the country in a defacto almost independent state

I've spent a few weeks trying the built-in AI in IntelliJ, and the Copilot plugin as well.

I have to say that even though sometimes both AIs offer amazing suggestions, it's really distracting to me to have constant multi-line completions being suggested non-stop! And sometimes it's a suggestion that would probably make sense in a widely different context, but you can see how the AI would believe it was appropriate for you anyway and you start wondering about nonsense. I had to disable that.

The line-completion that IntelliJ has by default now was quite a bit better IMO. It really helped and was not so distracting.

Anyway, I can't tell which AI was best, they both seemed similar in capabilities. The JB AI is a bit more well integrated, obviously, so it's a bit easier for me to accept completions for example (with Copilot, sometimes it competes with the normal IDE completions and I can't easily pick one). Anyone has an opinion on that?
yeah Google Search is awful and there's still nothing better.
What's new?
How would a junior engineer get into embedded software? Personal hardware projects with esp32s, etc?

Seems far more interesting than cobbling together CRUD apps but it seems tough to get into given the experience roles require.
> Things like "autocomplete" and other simpler things are the use cases you'd use it for, not "code this game for me", you'll need something much more powerful for that.

Indeed, clearly.

However, it was tuned for chat, and people kept telling me it was competitive with the OpenAI models for coding.
